Default Aftermarket Bluetooth?

Sadly, the 2008 Prius I recently purchased did not come with the Bluetooth feature and I am seeking an aftermarket unit that will not break the bank. Ideally, I would like something that integrates with the stereo and has an AutoMute feature. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I did find numerous threads on this topic, but none from the past couple of years and I know that the technology has advanced considerably since those posts.

I bought my wife a unit from Blue Ant that seems to do the job. It doesn't integrate, but it isn't any more obtrusive than a garage door opener. And for well under $100 I think it will be hard to do better on price.

i'm a fan of Parrot systems. i have the 3100 and the 3200 kits installed in my cars and they are nice. not as nice as the factory one, but good nuff (with the auto mute, voice dialing and other things)

I opted for replacing my stereo with a Dual XHD6425 + BTM60 Bluetooth module. For $140 out the door I get (over the stock bare stereo): WMA/MP3 CD playback, USB device support (keychains, HDs, even charges my phone,) HD radio, aux input, and bluetooth through the stereo.

Nice Pegasus, I'm starting to look at the same sort of option for better iPod/iPhone support as well as cleaner outputs for the amp install I have planned.
How long have you had it and what's your opinion so far?
